		<description><![CDATA[There will be a new tariff option for customers of network operator O2 Germany for low-cost international calls from Germany to other countries by cell phone soon. With the "O2 Global Friends" tariff option, O2 Germany customers with an O2&#160;o price plan can make mobile phone calls to five friends who are abroad for rates of €&#160;0.15 per minute - that's just as much as users of an O2&#160;o price plan pay for mobile phone calls within Germany. "O2 Global Friends" will be available from upcoming Monday and can be booked with an O2&#160;o prepaid or postpaid cell phone plan of O2 Germany. There is no monthly fee for this international calling service, but a one-time set-up fee of €&#160;5.00.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Small but nice - that's my impression after having tested the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini of the Xperia multi-media smartphone series. Obviously, the small size of the cell phone compels comprises - the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini fits into any pocket but is not suited for all smartphone application. But don't be fooled: The X10 Mini is a powerful device despite its small size. Read in this review what I like and what I don't like about the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the one hand, it makes life easier for mobile Internet users. On the other hand, it is potential cost trap for smartphone users who don't about this and who don't make the nessecary arrangements in time. Subscribers of a cell phone plan of German operator O2 Germany do not need to configure the mobile Internet access by themselves. They can access the web via GPRS or UMTS over the O2 Germany network with any access point name (APN) or even without any APN.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For three weeks the Apple iPad has been available in Germany. Several mobile phone providers have released micro-SIM cards for accessing the internet with the iPad WiFi + 3G over their mobile networks. At www.teltarif.de we have tested the micro-SIM cards and mobile internet accesses of the four German network operators Telekom (T-Mobile), Vodafone, E-Plus and O2 Germany. This is a short summary of our experiences regarding purchase of the micro SIM card for the Apple iPad and its activation, the selection of mobile data price plans with a short minimum term commitment, network quality and the use of certain mobile data services such as voice over IP or instant messaging.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the Blackberry Pearl 3G 9105, Canadian manufacturer Research in Motion (RIM) is trying the balancing act between a classical push email handset and a mass market device. The smartphone looks like a typical candybar cell phone because it is slim and because it does not have a full QWERTZ keyboard. To make the Blackberry Pearl 3G 9105 appeal to more cell phone users, RIM has given it UMTS and HSDPA&#160;3.6 support because today consumers want a phone with UMTS support. Actually there is no need for that because of the data compression of the Blackberry server. On the other hand: In order to become a mainstream consumer device the Blackberry Pearl 3G 9105 did not get a full physical QWERTZ keyboard or - like previous Pearl phones - a compact QWERTZ keyboard with two letters on each button. In Germany, the Blackberry Pearl 3G will be available at Vodafone stores soon.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People having bought the Apple iPad WiFi – and not the iPad Wifi + 3G – cannot use a smartphone or an UMTS surf stick to connect to the web over the mobile network. But they can buy a portable UMTS modem router that supports WiFi in order to access the internet via GPRS, EDGE, UMTS or HSPA. With such a device the iPad owner does more freedom of choice regarding mobile data price plans and he or she does not even have to buy one of the special micro SIM cards that fit into the tablet PC. Here are three small 3G modem routers that are available at stores in Germany or will be available soon. Of course, they cannot just be connected to the Apple iPad but to any other WiFi device as well – for example to the iPod Touch or a digital camera.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Samsung&#160;B5722 is now available at E-Plus and Base stores. E-Plus sells the touch screen dual SIM phone for EUR&#160;199.00 only to its existing customers, while other German web stores offer the Samsung&#160;B5722 for purchase prices beginning at EUR&#160;170.00 without contract. That's quite a lot of money for a mobile phone that does neither support UMTS or HSPA for faster mobile data transmissions nor WiFi for accessing the web at hotspots. The Samsung&#160;B5722 also lacks a built-in GPS receiver for the use of location based services and it is not equipped with business software that goes beyond mere organizer features. What, on the other hand, the dual SIM phone Samsung&#160;B5722 does offer, shows this review.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The X10 of the Xperia series is Sony Ericsson's debut Android smartphone. The list of features is rather impressive, even though it shows that the Sony Ericsson X10 is no high-flyer: 1&#160;GHz Snapdragon processor by Qualcomm, 8.1-megapixel camera with HD video capture, HSPA and WiFi connectivity, and A-GPS. On the other hand, it runs on Android&#160;1.6&#160;- an older version of the operating system geared towards the easy use of Google services such as Google Search, Google Mail, Google Maps or Google Talk by mobile. This is why Sony Ericsson has put its own user interface User Experience with its Timescape and Mediascape views on top of the Android&#160;OS. How older software and up-to-date hardware work together will this review of the Sony Ericsson X10 show.]]></description>
